Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
In addition to the B&B, these folks offer a private sauna visit in their home, along with an explanation of Finnish sauna culture and a homemade dinner if you like. I chose the herbal sauna and dinner plan, learned a lot, relaxed for as long as I wanted in the sauna(with trips out to the snow to cool off!) and finished with a great dinner. You have the whole sauna and nearby rooms to yourself so it’s completely private. Everything you need from towels, robe and soap(also homemade!) to a shower and drinks to refresh during and after the sauna. I am really happy that they had space available for my last minute booking...cannot recommend this experience enough!

Spend a long weekend in Rovaniemi at the Kotitie B&B. Very nice room with super clean and modern bath; fantastic breakfast with lots of homemade local specialties. Really pampered by the hosts, who even catered to food allergies very well. Location is very convenient, only couple steps to downtown Rovaniemi. Enjoyed it very much

We stayed for 1 night at the start of our trip to Lapland and couldn’t have hoped for a better place to choose. It’s in a great location close to the Arktikum and the accommodation is lovely: spacious, clean and separated from the house so gives you a real feel of independence. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic and a great introduction to Lappish cuisine. Strongly recommended

The best place to stop in Rovaniem. Nice, spacious and cosy garden house located almost in the centre of Rovaniemi. You should remeber to order the breakfast - really worth it! The breakfast is variety and very tasteful full of great homemade products. Pekka and his wife are very friendly and helpul, they do so much to make our stay there homelike. Thank you very much and kisses from Oliwia:)

To say we enjoyed our visit would be a huge understatement . The moment we arrived at their home Pekka and Aini made us feel not only welcomed but as if we were royalty. We were handed glasses of fresh Birch water directly from the tree in their front yard ! They explained the process of gathering that only enhanced the enjoyment. From there we were given a tour of their lovely home. Our next treat was the massages, at home we are regular devotees of massage and indulge once a week so needless to say we can be critical. Well the secret here if that they had both been physical therapists at one time! After the massage we had been given the entire downstairs for our sauna experience. Now this was not an ordinary sauna experience, again Pekka indulged with home made Bilberry ( blueberry) juice and more birch water to make sure we did not dehydrate. She shared her home made birch astringent to cleanse our faces and then hand made soap and shampoo as well as moisturizer cream. The lovely sauna was enhanced by a foot bath with yes yet again home made birch salts and birch tree twitches to stimulate the skin. After each 10-15 minute session in the sauna we had the luxury of a private exit to the snow plunge experience while our bodies smoked thru the cool down experience. When we felt thoroughly cleansed both physically and spiritually which Pekka explained was an additional benefit of the sauna. The final treat was the delicious meal! Again home made smoked fish, hand picked mushrooms and a yummy cheese and mushroom tart, also included a salad and 2 very Finnish desert treats. If you have the time while in Rovaniemi or need a place to stay, don’t miss the opportunity to indulge yourselves you will not be disappointed

I will join the rest of the reviewers giving Pekka a 5 star review. We stayed at his place March 1-7, 2017. I can't imagine there is a better place to stay in Rovaniemi for a couple. The B&B is actually a small house right behind the house that Pekka and his wife live in. The house is perfect for a couple-bedroom, full kitchen, living area and bathroom. Parking spot off the street for your car. Free wifi although the signal is a bit weak-I could get on with my computer but then our phones and tablets could not get on. Not a big deal and Pekka is aware of this. As others have written, optional breakfast is 10 Euros per person and definitely worth it. I am a fussy eater and I had no problem getting a filling breakfast. Pekka is extremely freindly and accommodating. He allowed us to use his washer/dryer for two loads of laundry. If we ever come back here we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sorry this answer comes this late. I'm not so devoted with this kind of social media. I'll try to be better with it in future. Welcome back - maybe once in summer!

This was an amazing B&B which exceeded our expectations. Pekka and Aini are wonderful and hospitable hosts who genuinely like meeting and interacting with their guests. Pekka is a very good cook who provided us with a lovely breakfast of Finnish foods. I would recommend the breakfast as it was excellent and good value, and a good introduction to Finnish cuisine. We took the Airport shuttle straight to Kotite and found this quite easy. Kotite is a homely yet spacious B&B with a lovely touch of nostalgia to its interior which we found quite charming. The kitchen and bathroom were modern and clean and contained everything you would need for your stay. The B&B is only a ten minute walk at a moderate pace from the city centre and this was not difficult for us even with deep snow on the ground. Pekka and Aini made our stay truly memorable and we can highly recommend their lovely B&B.

Thank you very much for your feedback and nice words. We are sorry that our answer comes this late, but hope you still remember us :) We have a lovely winter but not very much northern lights this year. The temperature is -15 degrees today, pretty chilly. We hope to see you again, maybe some day in summer?

Concur with all other reviews and heartfelt thanks for Pekka's host during our 3-night stay. Nothing to complain and only good things to mention. Breakfast truly worth it. We were a bit hesitated when making the reservation due to the walking distance (under snow) from city center. But the walking distance is actually manageable (5-10 min from nearest supermarket/shopping mall) and we are so glad that we made the right choice to stay here. Great place to relax after full-day outdoor activities.
And the place is much prettier than the photos, warm, cozy Nordic style.

From the very beginning everything during our stay was perfect. The cottage exceeded our expectations. In reality the place is even cozier and pretty than it looks on the pictures. We were warmly welcomed by Pekka and his wife. Some freshly home baked cookie were waiting for us on the table. We also loved the herbal tea that was carefully picked and blended by Pekka's wife. The cottage is very comfortable, modern and clean. The beds were one of the beds we ever slept on. Every single day it felt so nice coming back to our warm and cozy appartment. Location is great as it is only a 10 minute walk to the heart of the city. We stayed here during Christmas and couldn't have wished for a better option. One of the biggest surprises was a selection of delicious and home made Finish delicacies on Christmas eve. Without a doubt the best place to stay in Rovaniemi. We felt very fortunate to be here and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We have just got back from Finland and spent the first and last night of out holiday in Rovaniemi.
Pekka was a very welcoming host and the chalet is beautiful - very clean, warm, well provided for a longer stay, and even came with its own snowman and candles outside! Four of us stayed on the second occasion, using the sofa bed in the living room, and we were all very comfortable again.
The breakfast is a must - the quality and variety of food on offer couldn't be faulted and much of it was made or foraged by Pekka and his wife. We were made to feel like family and were even dosed up with homemade spruce/fir cold medicine before leaving!
We would definitely stay again if we are fortunate enough to return to the area.
